Another reason to not judge a book by it's cover. If this keeps up it'll make for a very interesting post season (fingers crossed) off season and spring training next year. I saw Cecchini will be called up...WHAT!!! Did I get that right.

We go into a weekend series with the Nats and figure our only shot was with Thor friday night and what happens...we lose friday but win with Degrom jr. on Sat. and Lugo Sunday so go figure and yes Thomas the world has turned upside down but so far in good way.

Which is Worse?...a slow and bad base runner or a Fast and Bad base runner. Today, I dislike Slow and Dumb.

On a day when Wilmer added to every traditional Stat Category, he also raised his "Sabers", including WAR. You have to actually watch him play to realize what a limited baseball player he is. He is raising trade value...he has a place in MLB...he is NOT an everyday player, but he's make a nice DH, Floater.

eraff, I had the same discussion with my cousin - he'd be a good DH. Fielding, too. When I was at the game Thurs nite, on a potential DP with either Gordon or Ichiro running, where you as a teammate had to know you wanted to hold down Jake's pitch count, he was slow to field the grounder at 2nd and slow in his flip to Reyes. They did not turn the DP and it added very unwanted pitches from Jake. I think there was another one the next inning, which he flipped faster but failed to turn DP. More pitching strain. An elite 2B turns them both.

Speaking of Jake, two Septembers ago, he was a strikeout machine. He was a shadow of that pitcher the other night.

How could Flores even have a chance of turning the double play if it would require an elite 2nd baseman and he is young and throughout his young career has been shuffled from position to position? Sometimes even in the same game.
